Sister's blisters

Sister's blisters

 

Here we are, upon a swing
you towering above me; smiles elevated
​by joyously rising bellows

 

again
and Again
we jerk together
​knees bent legs
--------------------straight
knees bent legs
-----------------------------straight
avoiding the floor with every pass  

​Our grips tight upon rusting metal
​cold coarsening chains; moments eclipsed
​by shadowy extending meadows

again
and Again
we jerk together
​knees bent legs
--------------------straight
knees bent legs
-----------------------------straight
avoiding the floor with every pass

​Our laughter pours upon bubbling tarmac
heating the air; words embellished
by blistery screaming echoes

again
and Again
we jerk together
​knees bent legs
--------------------straight
knees bent legs
-----------------------------straight
avoiding the floor with every pass

Our sun sets upon translucent memories
drawing the night; days encircled
by drearily sleeping windows

again
and Again
we jerk together
​knees bent legs
--------------------straight
knees bent legs
-----------------------------straight
avoiding the floor with every pass

And,
I wonder if we tried it now
​how high we would climb.
